My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling     , but I always knew he was     . He never criticized us, but used        to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die. ” I       as a child I said something       about somebody, and my father said, “     time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection（反映）of you. ” He explained that if I looked for the best       people, I would get the best      . From then on I’ve always tried to       the principle in my life and later in running my company.

Dad’s also always been very      . At 15, I started a magazine. It was       a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a      : stay in school or leave to work on my magazine. I decided to leave, and Dad tried to get me to change my decision,       any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad       me to go into law. And I’ve       regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, __   I didn’t realize my      . You know what you want. Go achieve it. ”

As      turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national       for young people in the U. K. My wife and I have two children, and I’ d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad       me.
